Dr Carlson showed great interest & concern about why I was there. He had reviewed my records in advance & was aware of my health concerns. He took time to explain & clarify my concerns & reason for me seeing him. His explanation of my situation was presented in a very understandable layman terms. Walked out feeling I choose the right GI doctor for me.
